It must have been last call, last song
Slipped me a twenty dollar bill
She said can you play one, that takes one
Where the memories stand still
Love lights faded, in the Autumn chill
She'd trade-em, for a summer thrill
Like the soundtrack behind her story line
When that song was number one, back in her prime
Songs have a life, a life of their own
Unlock forgotten fragments, black and white to Kodachrome
Songs have a life, take on this life of their own
A melody rewinds us back, reminds us when we feel alone
We're not alone
The muse and the memories
Fuse all these emotions to mind
In shades of the blues in reverie forever sublime
Somehow rhythm and rhyme intertwine
Make a valentine, sweeter than wine
Make the world a bit less cold and unkind
And for a little while, leave all our worries behind
Songs have a life, a life of their own
Like legendary fairy tales, the world has ever known
Songs have a life, take on this life of their own
And music how it never fails
To melt a heart of ice and stone
When old friends desert you, hurt you
But the music will last
Old songs return you, stolen moments
A postcard from the past
If I had a dollar, for the nickels and dimes
I dropped in some jukebox, back in time
No money wasted, heavily rotated in my mind
Solid Gold plated, I've contemplated and lately I find
Songs have a life, a life of their own
Conceived in inspiration, solitary soul creation
Songs cool the strife, in this life I have known
From the discord there comes harmony
Sweet music of the spheres
And always be a part of me, and ageless through the years
Like ripples on the water, when we drop the tiniest little stone
They go on, even after we're gone
Songs have a life of their own
